*Editor’s Note: Statistics and rankings are current as of this writing, Tuesday, January 9th. Numbers may vary slightly entering games on Wednesday, January 10th.
OKC Thunder
The Thunder are the third youngest team in the Association but they’re playing like a team laden with veteran stars who’ve been there and done it.
Case in point, since mid-December OKC has delivered some impressive statement-style wins including victories versus the top teams in each conference (Celtics, Wolves), the red-hot Clippers, and handed the reigning champion Nuggets two of their three losses at home.
Thunder Stats
The Thunder ranks fourth on offense (119.7), and have moved up to seventh on defense (112.1) while they offer a plus +7.6 net differential registering third overall.
In terms of the Thunder’s performance against the spread, they are one of the better bets with a 23-11-1 record to this point in the season.
Thunder Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Davis Bertans, PF (questionable — illness)
Miami Heat
While their opponent is clamoring for some National recognition ironically the Heat are quietly lurking in the shadows content to be an afterthought.
On closer inspection, you’ll discover Miami has only played 16 home games and been hampered by injuries to their core. Erik Spoelstra just signed a contract extension and is earning every cent of it having to navigate those injuries.
While the showy team in LA is doling out excuses (or getting gifted games by the refs) Spo is getting the most out of every player on the team.
Heat Stats
Miami ranks tied for 17th offensively (114.9), and 13th defensively (113.5) with a plus net differential of +1.4 which ranks 15th overall.
The Heat ride the middle ground against the spread with a 17-19 record through 36 matches.
Heat Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Kyle Lowry, PG (doubtful — head)
- Jimmy Butler, SG (downgraded to OUT— leg)
- Haywood Highsmith, SF (upgraded to probable— jaw)
- Caleb Martin, SG (downgraded to doubtful—ankle)
- Dru Smith, SG (OUT for the season — knee)

Free OKC Thunder vs. Miami Heat NBA Prediction:
It’s a crime Erik Spoelstra has never won Coach of the Year although his eight-year $120 million extension will help quell his feelings, if he even cares.
Ironically, it’s the Thunder’s young coach who could end up as his biggest competition. Mark Daigneault has instilled a calm confidence in his youngsters and is a masterful technician.
These two men make the game played within the game all the more reason to tune in although Spo has a tall task in front of him if all the players on the injury list are out. That said, you can bet whoever suits up will be ready to deliver the Heat Culture effort.
